Director, Producer Born: 1908 in Harrow, England Death: August 25, 1967 in Worthing, Sussex, England, UK Biography:"Lance Comfort" was somewhere between 18 and 20 years old when he started his film career as director and animator of British medical training shorts. Comfort's first feature was "The Courageous Mr. Penn" (1941), an ambitious biopic marred only slightly by amateurish miniature work. He followed this with the successful big-budgeter "Hatter's Castle" (1941), then delighted the folks in the cheap seats with the knockabout comedy "Old Mother Riley, Detective" (1942). He functioned as both producer and director of the 1945 film "Daughter of Darkness". Many of his postwar efforts, notably "Eight O'Clock Walk" (1954) and "Tomorrow at Ten" (1962), were distinguished by their creative utilization of actual locations and well-sustained levels of suspense. A busy TV director, "Lance Comfort" was also co-producer of the internationally popular anthology series Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Presents (1952-1955). ~ Hal... Full Biography
